Multiple enclosure tags get overwritten

[black-hawk85]

I need to parse an RSS to JSON which has multiple enclosure tags within an item

<item>
<title>...</title>
<enclosure url="..." type="..." />
<enclosure url="..." type="..." />
<enclosure url="..." type="..." />
</item>

My resulted JSON Object only has a single enclosure object instead of an array.
I tried using keepArray option already but it still happens.

It seems it gets overwritten in parser.js

rss-parser/lib/parser.js

Line 214 in 2ea1d8f

item.enclosure = xmlItem.enclosure[0].$;

It's hard coded taking only the first enclosure item

Did you find another solution @black-hawk85? I want to parse and display images, which are referenced with RSS enclosure.

Unfortunately I had to use another lib for that.

It works with rss-to-json-v2

I have fixed this in a fork: https://github.com/rhyst/rss-parser and PR #282

It adds an item.enclosures property which is an array of all enclosures. Additionally it adds a couple of obscure enclosure tags to the same list ppg:enclosureSecure and ppg:enclosureLegacy which are used at least by the BBC for some of their podcasts.

You can install now with:

npm i git+https://github.com/rhyst/rss-parser.git
